There are so many genuinely beautiful actual birds, why displace them and pollute the world with AI slop? The picture I show is not mine but is of a real bird, the Lesser Bird of Paradise, Paradisaea minor. www.birdsofparadiseproject.org/genera/ Please don't post or repost that garbage.

I believe it's the former -- the Onion licences the site from the receiver appointed to manage his debts, the greatest of which is the one owing to the victims. From the story you linked:

In 2024, Judge Christopher Lopez of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court ordered a court-appointed trustee to sell off assets owned by Info Wars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, to help pay off Jones’ debts.

Later that year, Global Tetrahedron entered a sealed-bid auction for the company's assets. It’s $1.75 million bid was chosen over a higher $3.5 million offer from First United American Companies, a firm linked to Jones. But Judge Lopez said he would not approve the sale, citing concerns about the auction process and the amount of money the families were set to receive.

Three White Kings face three White Kings on a 7x9? 7x13? board, sturdily supported by pawns on the first rank. I trust their courses are better than their graphics... #chess

I found 80 of those but they might as well have been e7-e8/Q (which is immediately captured) -- so not the best move and maybe not even recorded correctly. This one I believe, as it is clearly the prettiest if not the best move: Gershon-Kogan 1997 4B3/N1R5/5bkp/2p2pp1/5p2/7P/P4PP1/5bK1 b - - 0 39
